How SludgeHammer Helps
With Communities

SludgeHammer® eco-friendly technology uses proprietary microorganisms to naturally break down waste, eliminating chemical use and lowering environmental impact. This process reduces sludge, waste disposal and landfill strain. Our systems ensure that treated wastewater meets or exceeds regulatory standards, promoting a healthy ecosystem and protecting water resources for the future.

Hurricane Katrina Project 

Community Case Study

After Hurricane Katrina, offshore oil rigs in New Orleans needed quick repairs, and large workforces had to be housed on barges. The challenge: processing wastewater without polluting the environment.

Flat river barges were used as platforms for worker housing, but Louisiana couldn’t allow sewage from 120 workers to be dumped directly into the rivers and bayous. SludgeHammer’s portable wastewater treatment system, the Aerobic Bacterial Generator (ABG), provided a solution.
